Not sure this 1951 S Jefferson Nickel would grade higher than MS65, any thoughts?



My main issue that would hold it back from a 66 is the scratches on his jaw and part of his collar. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Nice coin.
    I like it except for the spot on the right dome.
    I could see a 66.

    Looks like a solid 65.... Could be better when viewed in hand and not such major magnification... submit and see.... Cheers, RickO

    Is this your image or a seller's? Something looks strange about it.

    No. It's a 63 due to the obverse digs on cheek and collar.

    From what I have seen, the grading of Jeffersons has been all over the place-FS or not, regardless of which TPS. These cannot be bought 'sight unseen'.
